The finish had to be a regular type of lathing, not a patina finish or banded lathing like some of my other work.
I've totally re-hammered and re-shaped it and lathed it down to 2330 grams.

Here's a before and after soundclip....
On the one hand, cymbals have to be assessed in person.
On the other hand, this sounds friggin AMAZING!! Holy Spicoli!

I may be in Belgium this May. Could I visit your shop and purchase andor/ order a few cymbals?
